Conor Coady insists he and his Everton teammates have huge belief in Neal Maupay to deliver the goals this season.
The French striker received some criticism for his glaring miss in the Merseyside derby draw against Liverpool, but bounced back instantly on Sunday when firing a snapshot into Lukasz Fabianski’s bottom corner for the winner against West Ham. Blues boss Frank Lampard admitted after the win that he was delighted to see his summer signing providing the goals needed in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The 26-year-old’s instinctive finish - rifled in on the turn - gave the Goodison Park faithful a better glimpse into the kind of player that was such a squad favourite at Brighton and Hove Albion. And fellow summer arrival Coady stressed he and his fellow team-mates were always confident their leading man would get off the mark sooner rather than later.
